Valerie's Story

I'm Valerie, and I'm looking for a roommate. I first came to Paws and Claws in April of 2025, and I've been looking for my forever home since then. I'm 10 years old and prefer a calm home where I can be queen of the castle. I will never say no to a little milk, cheese, or peanut butter, if you're offering.<br/><br/>I enjoy hanging out on the back of the couch near you, or laying on the rug nearby, but cuddling has never really been my thing. I do love some pets and scratches to my head, though! In exchange for taking care of me, I'll keep you safe by monitoring the outside world through the windows and letting you know when any birds or squirrels pass by -- window-sitting is one of my talents! I also do a great impression of a seal, where I lay on my back and put my feet up I the air like flippers. I think you'll really love it! If you have some extra space in your house and heart, and are looking to give an older gal a place to chill, I think we'll get along great.<br/><br/>Valerie is 10 years old.
